pivot then dribble
Question
QUESTION: I wanted to know if you could pivot then dribble the ball then take a step, dribble the ball, then take a step, then dribble the ball, and so on and so fourth. (only 1 pivot move)
ANSWER: HI Terrell,
I'm not really sure what your asking, but what it sounds like is dribble, then pick up your dribble and take a step, then dribble again, etc. Once you pick up your dribble, you can't take a step nor can you dribble again. If I'm miss-interpreting your questions, please ask again and clarify it a little more. thanks

QUESTION: What i'm trying to ask is can you pivot, then continue dribbling normal? Or is that a travel?
Answer
Hi Terrell,
If you receive the ball and you are standing stationary, and you establish a pivot foot, you may dribble after pivoting. However, if you have possession of the ball already and you have picked up your dribble, and begin to pivot, you may NOT dribble again. That would be a traveling or double dribble call.
